Our buyer focused Prescott market area foreclsoure website,
www.prescott-area-foreclosures.com captures leads from prospects interested in REO properties in the Prescott, Prescott Valley, Chino Valley and Dewey-Humbolt market areas.   

The site and it’s accompanying blog, http://blog.prescott-area-foreclosures.com place highly on Google’s organic search and generate an average of 60 quality buyer leads per month.

These leads are made up of three types of buyer prospects:

1.  Investors looking to purchase REO properties to rent or rehab.

2.  Home buyers who are looking for a primary residence.

3.  Home buyers who are looking for a vacation home/secondary residence.

 Buyer prospects contact us after we have established their trust by providing quality, original, and relevant data about the local market and the issues facing foreclosure buyers. 

An example of our content is our weekly market report.

Some of these are comical and others are just plain sad.  It’s too bad that the REO asset managers who own these properties are giving away $1000s due to poor advertising by their REO agents.

As an asset manager, you are probably too busy to follow up with your listings, but did you know that many REO listings are poorly marketed? 

It’s probably due to the fact that many REO agents are overwhelmed with inventory and don’t have the back-end personnel, technological know-how, or the systems in place to manage the listings. 

We use back-end systems like SureClose and ShowingDesk to manage our inventory, and our staff at RE/MAX Mountain Properties in Prescott and Prescott Valley, Arizona, is second-to-none.

With these systems in place it allows us to do:

Real Marketing of Your Property Listings

1.  Your properties are featured on our websites, plus, your listings are automatically syndicated to the top real estate websites on the internet:

Some of the portals that your listings are syndicated to

2.  We also do virtual tours on all of our properties with at least 25 pictures. With 90% of prospects now starting on the internet, can you afford not to have virtual tours of your REOs?

3. Professional photography. Our photos are taken by a professional with a SLR digital camera and quality optic wide angle lens that captures the whole room and all the light.  Don’t settle for inferior images of your properties.

4.  New for March 2009!  HD Video Tours of all our Prescott area REO properties using our HD Video camera at 1920 x 1080 resolution and .45 wide-angle lens.  Stay tuned for a live link.

We know you are busy, but did you know that not exposing your properties to the most people possible is costing you profits,  time, and fewer inventory turns?
